To whom must an insurance producer report any conviction of a felony?

An insurance producer is required to report any conviction of a felony to the department of insurance. This requirement is in place to ensure that the licensing authority is aware of any legal issues that may impact the producer's ability to perform their duties ethically and responsibly within the industry. This accountability helps maintain the integrity of the insurance profession and protects consumers.

The other options do not align with the regulatory requirements set forth for insurance producers. While reporting to the local police department or a federal body may be relevant in other contexts, the regulatory framework specifically mandates that felonies be reported to the department of insurance. Reporting to the insurance company may also be necessary but does not fulfill the statutory obligation to inform the regulatory body responsible for licensing and oversight.
